How to determine a Blog Title

This will be my fourth time to change the title of my blog.  It was in 2004 when I learned what a blog was. I did not give any thoughts about it though since I just write my bio logs in a handy-dandy diary/journal notebook. Besides, who would want to let the whole world know what you think, feel, dream, and whatnots.  It came to a point that it became easier to put my thoughts and feeling in a computer by just keying in the words in QWERTY mode other than scribbling with the pen to my notebook. As time passed by, I became friends with the computer and writing in this platform becomes smooth as Korean glass skin!

The first blog title I had was CatchyWackyLucky. I had it for about four years until I relocated to Baguio City, Philippines and changed it to Life in Bag You. After two years, I relocated again to my hometown, Butuan City, Philippines and named my blog, It's a Bag Life.

CatchyWackyLucky. I thought of naming it like that as I kind of like the way it sounded. It reminded me of a friend who liked to play with words. His name was Dominic and he had MickMackMoe.

Life in Bag You. It was just another play of words for me. Blog that time was like a reflection-filled posts from a book that I bought.

It's a Bag Life.  I thought of naming it as such because I have always been traveling. That time, it became clear to me to have a sorta direction of my blog.

Finally, Rants and Praises.  I consider myself to be a positive person to the point that somehow I forget to acknowledge that there are really times that not-so-positive things or events happen and you meet not-so positive people as well.  Nevertheless, I understand that if ever I get to write in this blog, I will be writing on both aspects - my rants and praises. After all, life has its own blacks and whites, and sometimes gray.

So to determine your blog title, one has to keep in mind its purpose and direction. You can use humor, idioms, and puns, too!
